Guthrie, Bush Hager Share Parenting Takeaways From Kids’ Three-Week Sleepaway Camps

On the latest Today with Jenna & Friends episode, the co-hosts used their kids’ camp stints to reflect on shifting family dynamics.

Overview

  • On the Sept. 1 broadcast, Savannah Guthrie said both Vale, 11, and Charley, 8, were away for three weeks at separate sleepaway camps.
  • Guthrie described a quieter house with early bedtimes for TV and reading and said she finally got "beauty sleep."
  • Jenna Bush Hager said her son Hal loved being an only child and became notably well-behaved while his sisters were at camp.
  • Bush Hager recalled daughter Mila’s response—"Maybe we’re the problem"—which led her to reconsider how their sibling dynamic affects Hal.
  • Guthrie said weekly sibling meetups during camp did not transform her kids’ relationship, though she emphasized they remain close.
